| dc.description.abstract | This thesis investigates the ontological and techno-evolutionary journey of human identity by analysing the representations of the monster and monstrosity in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus and Jeanette Winterson’s Frankissstein: A Love Story. Through a comparative analysis, the study elucidates how these literary works critique and expand the concept of humanity from Enlightenment ideals to posthuman realities. Utilising posthumanist and transhumanist theoretical frameworks, the thesis examines the profound impact of technological advancements on human subjectivity and identity. The figure of the monster emerges as a central motif, symbolising the societal anxieties and aspirations that lie at the intersection of the human and the technological. This thesis reveals how Shelley and Winterson challenge anthropocentric paradigms, advocating for a reimagined understanding of what it means to be human in an era increasingly shaped by technological innovation. | |
